Depending on how much you want to spend, you have a number of options.

3D Studio Max is a suberb product. It will allow you to create broadcast quality animations and write them to virtually any format you like. However, not only is it expensive ($3000?) but the hardware requirements are extreme. You'll need a good Pentium (166+) and as much RAM as you can handle (at least 96Mb). Ideally, you'd want a decent video card as well (Matrox Millenium 4Mb for example).

Lightwave 5.0 is another excellent animation package and costs a fraction of the price ($700?). Hardware requirements are still a factor but it's not as demanding as Max.

If your animation needs are lower, take a look at Autodesk's Animator Studio, useful and very inexpensive for producing Avis.

If cost is not an issue, you should also look at the DPS PVR card - a full length video capture and playback card that can take your 3DS or Lightwave animations and write them to video tape.
